MA/MS in Organizational Management is a master's degree in Management & Leadership programme offered by Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in Saguenay, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 820 per credit (CAD 104 per credit for local students).
This Master of Science in Organizational Management at Université du Québec à Chicoutimi is delivered full-time or part-time, in person, on the Saguenay campus, with admission in fall and winter terms; international students may only study full-time. The program is organized around two profiles: a professional track that trains leaders, advisors, and consultants working with developing organizations, and a research track that trains analysts and researchers in the field. Coursework spans innovation management, organizational development, entrepreneurship, international business, and organizational effectiveness, and concludes with a capstone activity that students complete as either an intervention project or a written essay. The program suits professionals and aspiring managers who want advanced training in organizational management, entrepreneurship, or international business, and non-francophone applicants must demonstrate French-language proficiency to be admitted.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:3.20 / 4.33
Admission Requirements: Regular entry requires a bachelor's degree with a minimum cumulative average of 3.2/4.3, plus equivalent knowledge of management principles, business economics, marketing and the human aspects of organisations; candidates averaging 2.5/4.3 or above may be considered after a full file review. Etudes-hors-Quebec applicants need an appropriate diploma after at least 16 years of schooling with a minimum average of 12/20 (11-12/20 considered after full file review). A preparation-suffisante route accepts at least three years of full-time experience in professional-level or supervisory management duties within the previous five years. All routes require a CV, three confidential reference reports, a one-page French motivation letter, and transcripts. Non-native French speakers must pass a French test recognised by UQAC within 24 months before admission; the programme page does not publish the specific scores required at this cycle. Sufficient English is recommended, since many course readings are in English.
Application Details
Start Date:September and January
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents, protected persons and First Nations) apply directly to UQAC and, for non-quota programmes, may submit an admission application until the end of the course-registration period for the winter, summer or fall term, making admission effectively rolling; contingented (limited-enrollment) programmes instead hold applications to a per-programme deadline before reviewing them together. International applicants face fixed, earlier windows: for the 2025-2026 cycle the fall 2026 term ran from 2 September 2025 to 1 March 2026, while winter and summer 2026 closed on 1 August 2025 and 12 December 2025 respectively; as of September 2026 UQAC has not yet published the equivalent winter, summer or fall 2027 international dates. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
